The Briefings will cover four areas including:

i)               recent contract wins, the status of implementation of major
contracts and the structure in place to deal with growth going forward.
Information will also be given on the plans to integrate the UK business of
McLarens Toplis, the UK's second largest loss adjusting company, with Capita's
existing insurance business following an announcement of the acquisition of
the company by Capita on 29th May;


ii)             an update on the Education market and the Group's capabilities
within it, including further information on Capita's contract, recently
announced, worth £107m over 7 years to introduce the Connexions Card to 2.4m
16-19 year olds in England.  There will also be a presentation on the business
development opportunities at a national, local and schools level together with
an update on the development of Capita's Education Portal;


iii)            an outline of the approach and development of the Group's
private sector business based on the cross-selling and integrated offerings of
its wide range of business services  to existing and new customers.  In
particular, examples will be presented of Consumer Direct and its use and
application in the market;


iv)            a session on service enhancement involving on 4th June  the

strategic partner to the London Borough of Croydon to lead the development of
an integrated gateway for the public to access services to the Authority.  The
seven year contract worth approximately £100m will involve the transfer of a
